Who the hell cares if Travis Corcoran thinks that New England is run by leftists? (No offence to you Travis. It's just that I don't think you're going to get the police knocking at your door asking: "Did you post this?" with you saying: "Uh. Officer.... Let's check the PGP.... Uh....") I could understand if this was something truely serious, but cluttering up posts with PGP signature THAT NOBODY'S EVER GOING TO CHECK does seem like a massive waste of time & visual space. - John Cooley ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- __)) "Glass ceilings?
